Mine were planted about October,as for age it is an exercise in mind over matter

I don't think I'm an old codger - but I can't remember when I planted mine!Comment

Mine went in early October, in buckets in the greenhouse.
They are yellowing a bit, any idea anyone? Too dry perhaps? Didn't want to water them too much.Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you are probably right.

I planted mine end of November and it still hasn't shown up. Is it too late to get hold of some more and try again do you think?
Don't know if I'm an old codger or not. I feel a bit codgified sometimes.Comment

Mine went in in Nov all look OK at the moment. SS I think they need to be out in the cold to do well they need frost etc to make the bulbs form.Comment

Mine went in a bit late, mid November at the allotment, but they are showing through nicely now. I usually plant them half term, which is the last week of Oct.I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

The ones I started in October 2011 are doing ok I think - fantastic roots (I started them in modules so saw that when I planted them out in Nov) but I haven't looked to see if they are bulbing or anything - they're just being garlic at the moment. However the ones I put in in the horrible cold wet clay of Feb/March 2011 are not bulbing, probably because the clay around them is now hard and solid. I only found them a week ago - was surprised they were alive. One was under a cabbage. I may try relocating them (only 3 bulbs) to see if they prefer some worked soil rather than the cement they are currently locked in.
Not sure that helps at all! Except to say - I have some stubborn ones too, and they were also planted last spring.Proud member of the Nutters Club.
